Help with metal refinishing
 
I have a clients refrigerator racks that need to be refinished. Any ideas on what/how to get this done asap? I left it to the last minute (forgot) and they are arriving Tuesday...so I need a quick fix.
I tried to order new ones...but they only have white ones now.

Thanks in advance.

Jim

Jim, I've used these folks in Manassas for powder coating. Perhaps you can get the finish from them, in the time frame that you have to work with, and that your clients would be happy with.

Wire rotary brush on an angle grinder, and cold galvanizing spray.

I used to clean and rattle-can them when I had some apartment buildings. Might not be adequate if this is a high-end job.

Thanks Jim- I will try them on Monday.

Dad911- WHat is cold galvanizing spray?

Danatilla-As much as I would like to Rattle Can them...I need to keep my job in this economy!

I went ahead and ordered white replacements as a back up.

BTW- Sub-Zero parts prices make no sence...$350 for 4 small shelves WT%?

RUST-OLEUM V2185838 COLD GALVANIZED COMPOUND PAINT ZINC RICH COATING 20 OZ

I've used this outside, 15 years ago on a metal grate, still no rust.

Dad911-Thanks, I will try that on the underside and see what it looks like.

Best,
Jim

Cold galv isnt great there. Its not great in a high wear situation.
